December 12

Just a reminder that we will be going to Sobeys on Wednesday to sing.  We will be leaving Cranston around 9:30.  If you would like to join us and have your criminal record check complete, please send me an email.

This morning we started with Daily 5.  I spoke with my guided reading group about a new type of book. It is called info fiction.  These types of books contain factual information with some of the text written as a fiction story.  The book we discussed today is called Rocks on the Move.  This is a great introduction to our Rocks and Minerals unit that we will be doing some time in the new year.

This morning we also had caroling, gym and music.  After all of these events were finished we worked on writing for a brief time.  I also worked with a group on Words Their Way.

After lunch we had DEAR and then we moved onto math.  Thank you to Hope for teaching us a new math game called Kings.  Today we also talked about standard units of measurement and we practiced using a ruler.  We are currently only using centimetres as our unit of measure.

At the end of the day we switched inquiry groups.  My new group learned about comic life and researching animal hearing.

I will be away on Friday as I am leaving on vacation with my family.

Have a wonderful evening.  Glad to see it is warming up.
